Barn owl vs Tawny owl confrontation

30. December 2025 - Wildlife

A barn owl and tawny owl together at the barn owl roosting box

As a Barn owl returned to her roosting box she was followed by a Tawny owl.

She clearly considered this as a threat. She managed to get safely into the box and the tawny just flew away.

Watch the video on our youtube channel.
